As Memphis put the finishing touches on its 55-14 win over UConn, the Liberty Bowl scoreboard looked ahead to the game many had thought about since December.

#BeatUCF. That was the hashtag that appeared during the fourth quarter Saturday, and for this week, it’s the only thing on the Tigers' minds as well as their fans'. Beat Central Florida (5-0, 2-0 AAC) on Saturday (2:30 p.m., ABC/ESPN2) at the Liberty Bowl.

Of course, it’s much harder than creating a slogan or even a mind-set. UCF has won 18 consecutive games, was declared a national champion by one poll last year and has a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback McKenzie Milton.

“We know that the next opponent is a great one, not a good one. It’s one that’s a national contender,” Tigers coach Mike Norvell said after the game.

If the Tigers want to repeat that feeling, they’ll have to find a solution they didn’t have twice last year. UCF has beaten Memphis 11 consecutive times, but come Saturday, the Tigers finally will get the chance to exorcise demons that have haunted them for 10 months.

“It’s going to be a great atmosphere and we’re going to be ready to go,” running back Darrell Henderson said. “We got to get revenge.”
